Adventures in cartography

I would usually dismiss this kind of talk as simple moonbattery, but with Google's other well-documented biases, it does raise an eyebrow.

Comments:


Israel does show up at two resolutions higher than the one he selected, but that's... weird. My great uncle was for many years an architect for Aramco (back before they were nationalized and became Saudi Aramco in 1971 or thereabouts). In the company employee book they gave out -- and this thing was a 200+ page color book republished once a decade or so -- Aramco's pipelines ran west through Jordan and Egypt. The map, of course, did not mention Israel and left that space blank on its maps.
